I played with gideon in last days and it really looks good. But I have problems understanding how you add GUI components to a KDE application. The Qt Designer (a cool thing of it's own) creates a skeleton for Qt application but not KDE. Though KDE classes are derived from Qt, it still is not very intuititve. I'd appreciate any hints.
What lacks in Gideon is the help system. There are many pages which are more advertising than a step-by-step tutorial. Unless my memory plays fools with me, I think that there was more usefull stuff in 2.0.
Terrorists are people that seek nothing less than the complete failure of our modern society.
In my opinion you missed it completely. Americans give the label 'terrorists' to people that are trying to protect their tratidional society because they see our modern society as the biggest threat to their society/culture.
Wish I had posted this yesterday when I had a chance anybody would read it.
As some other reader replied: terrorists (especially near east terrorists) are not the people that like to blow stuff up.
They are not people that want to spread FUD (as some other reader replied).
They are also not sick (as mentioned in another post). They just give their ideals higher priority than to human life. You can disagree with that, but it is not sick.
A definition of terrorism got moded 5 informative a few posts above. But the semantics suddenly gets different when you ommit 'unlawfull' from it - or just consider there are different laws than those that apply in your country. Afghanistan, Iraq consider the entering of US (or UN for that matter) troops unlawful - by their laws.
Unfortunatelly terrorism became a buzzword that Ashcroft knows how to sell. A tirade of how US acts 'unlawfull' and violently to 'protect its interests' beyond its borders is probably OT here.
Saying that it has little to do with Linux zealots - unless they attack other systems actively.

In my world a bigger set of distinguising features makes distinguishing easier.
Speedometer in a car is a typically a dial because you don't have to focus your eyes to read it. Sure it could be an LCD display, but it would be just dumb to do it that way.
What we might not know as well is the frequency of your oven. So I suggest you reverse the above formula, and you measure the frequency of your oven (not always printed on the back, as the article admits) this way.
How do you think the manufacturers get the number to print on the back?:-D Can you say loophole?

rastos> - out of curiosity, what tools did you use to create SlackBook?
chris> vim and SGML tools. The second edition will be vim and TeX.
Chris is one of the autors of Slackbook.
As Alan writes in previous reply there is new edition in work now, which is done outside of Slackware core team (AFAIK).
That would be because Slackware went from 2.4 to 3.0 in 1995. Are you suggesting to go backwards now?

What stops government being open source entirely, in the UK at least, is that open source applications for government don't exist.
Not everywhere you need a customized applications. 90% of time I look over the counter I see MS Word or Excel open on the screen of the clerk.
If you look over here or on my shameless plug, you'll see that saving money in on government level with OSS *is* possible.
>I think that we allow folks to immigrate to the states and work here....
Reading that made me to do a little research. The reason is that my company had serious troubles to get me to US ~5 years ago for 2 weeks of on-site debugging. We had to ask US-based subsidiary of a businnes partner to send an invitation letter for me.
I did not found anything to confirm my doubts, but I've found Diversity Immigrant Visa Program instructions, which among other things says that:
by submitting you are entering lottery. (the link is broken, the program did not start yet)
the submissions are electronic only
you have to include your photon in jpeg format , 240x320pixels and defined color depth.
Interesting, isn't it? Getting ready for face recognition?
RIAA to Congress:
Here! See?! We told you that every 2nd citizen is a thief and has deprived us from huge money. Would you be so kind to sign this draconian new law, please?
I'd not care about them having my ID this time. I'd be afraid them beeing able to *prove* that milions of ilegal filesharers are out there and need to be stopped by any means.
It's like a petition. Just the signatures do not represent people's opinion, but represent arguments in favor of RIAA bullshit.
Ok, you don't need to leave the couch. But you don't know what's going to happen in next moment and you still can't choose the best view ahead(unless you watch playback).
BTW, do you want to zoom? Sounds like you need RC resembling game console;-)
Actually not. Imagine you have to run around your 3D screen standing in the middle of your living room to get the right point of view...
No, I want a professional cameraman do it for me.
Obviously you did not spend much time thinking about it.
If a site with hundreds thousands of visitors a day changes the front page, than a lot of people would know about the protest.
Also the suggestion never said to shutdown the site completely. It says you should replace the front-page with information about the protest and this replacement page may link to usual site front page.
what was the saying: first they came for... and then there was nobody to speak for me...
> Suppose you labor extremely hard to create something,
Suppose you discover something by accident but is of no interest to you sinc its out of your bussiness branch:"Hey, Bob, pass this to our layers to send it to pattent office,will you?. Perhaps we'll sue someone to death in 40 years?"
Suppose you do something, but you do it badly. There is someone who would like to do it better. Yeah, he is sweeping it from under your feet, but the community benefits.
Suppose you want create GIFs, suppose you want to use RSA, suppose I have a better memory to remind you the cases where pattents are stiffling innovation.
Er... so you don't mind your company beying sued by someone because you clean-room-implemented something they did 30 years ago and now use only to sue everyone left and right? You don't mind spending money on lawyers? You don't mind paying UniSys money for your program that generates gifs which is known format since 19xy? Where have you been, man?
But not only that. He also shows that *there is a way out*. He does not need glorification and hitting the front page is not the goal of itself. The major point is that articles like this sends the message to others: don't like the way MS deals with you? Look here! I switched. It was painless. It saves me money. It makes my stuf work more efficiently. Why don't you consider that too?
I wish I could just find the smallest tetris implementation I've ever seen (during Assymebly ??' when I was in college (91-96)). It was something like 200-300 bytes long. You probably could memorize it and type it in in 'copy con tetris.exe' style.

Exactly.
I can't find anything to back it up, but I think it was Tomas Bata who came up with this concept.

You know, I agree with most of the opionons expressed here, but one thing disturbs me:
They live in a city housing project and can aford a computer and fast-enough Internet connection?
